coven continue to spike up 35 percent from last week, and deaths up 26 percent. the delta barrier is more aggressive and much more transmissible than previously circulating strain. it is one of the most infectious respiratory viruses mellow. and i have seen in my 20 years career, the us centers for disease control says 83 percent of all new u. s. cobit cases are linked to the highly transmissible delta variant. for now, the white house mass policy has not shapes currently only unvaccinated. people need to wear a mask, but officials are discussing whether to change that. so if you're an area that has a high rate and low rate, the vaccination where delta cases are rising, you should certainly be wearing a mask if you are on vaccinated. the white house is also continuing to work with

social media companies to tamp down. and what it calls, vaccine misinformation there remains skepticism in the us, particularly among conservatives, about masked effectiveness and whether covert vaccines are even safe. if people have questions about it. let's answer the questions. let's not say, oh, you can't put any information out. i think what would really have people have greater trust provide all the science provide all the information with 97 percent of all cobra deaths in the u. s. among the unvaccinated. the biden administration is boosting investments in cobra testing in areas where vaccination rates remain low. 1.6000000000 has been allocated for testing in high risk settings like prisons and homeless shelters. 398000000 has also been added to help. small rural hospitals reduce infection. but already the spike in covered cases is being felt

a market improvement. however, still way of the target of trying to test 400000 people each day. and you can imagine that in a country like, and these are, there are people who would struggle when there is a strict lockdown and many all doing it tough, particularly across your carter a java and many parts of the country. but epidemiologist say that the government must act strongly because the situation is continuing to worsen intensive care units in hospitals. but only in jakarta, not only in java, but across the country are stretched and we're seeing concerning signs of health care system across the country and more regional provinces, including a west hub for with the, with the health care resources are certainly not what we have here in chicago, her and the numbers that you mentioned earlier us concerning as they found the fact that indonesia now is asia covert epi center. they don't represent the reality on the ground because of low testing, right?

some local data agencies using data from cities from provincial governments, say that the actual just told is likely to be greater than one. the government's numbers suggests and south africa is also struggling with worsening numbers. the vaccination campaign there is making some progress with a record quarter of a 1000000 people getting their shots in one day. but still far, only about 7 percent of the population has received at least one dose. south africa is the worst that country on the continent and health experts are also warning of a potential rise in cases after large crowds gathered during anti government protests last week and to new jersey as president has ordered the military to intervene in the nations corona virus. crisis vaccine are in short, supply and stampedes have been reported on health centers across the country. the health minister is also being sacked as cases continue to search. mohammed vowels reports the can y'all succeed at the vaccination center in tunisia,
